You gotta admit, sentencing a Coptic Christian man to death for his role in making the Innocence of Muslims is absurd enough but to do it not because he had anything to do it but because he’s… a Coptic Christian man seems both racist and phobic (based on the standard for Islamophobia, of course). When […]

Egypt’s Morsi attempts Planet of the Apes metaphor during interview with TIME Magazine
During an interview with Time Magazine, Egypt’s new Muslim Brotherhood president – Mohamed Morsi – made a somewhat cryptic reference to the 1968 movie version of Planet of the Apes. As a member of the Ikhwan, Morsi is quite familiar with whom the Qur’an considers to be apes – the Jews. Via ROP: Verse 5:60 […]
Infiltration: Rep. Louie Gohmert says a ‘bunch of Muslim Brotherhood members’ giving Obama administration ‘advice’
In a radio interview with Frank Gaffney, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of the five congressmen who sent five letters to five separate Inspectors General last June over concerns about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration, expressed that the Obama administration’s decisions relative to the ‘Arab Spring’ were ‘horrendous’. Gohmert went on to say that the only way […]
Video: State Department spokesman has trouble answering question about U.S. embassy’s authority to kill Anwar Al-Awlaki
It’s quite safe to say that State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland would much rather prefer giving a press conference at which AP reporter Matthew Lee’s chair was empty. Such a scenario was not to be on November 28th and the looks Nuland gives while dealing with Lee’s questions practically portray physical discomfort. At issue… About […]
Republican Senator raises great question about Susan Rice’s role at State during Kenya / Tanzania bombings
One of the common refrains we hear from people who are rightfully outraged by what happened in Benghazi is that we must find out what happened so that it doesn’t happen again. That leads to a question about U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s time as a State Department employee in charge of the African region during […]
Video: Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) says Benghazi the ‘biggest cover-up in history’
Quite a charge because it would mean… …Benghazi bigger than Watergate. Via Fox Nation: Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com
Former UK Defense Minister’s solution? Neutron bomb on Afghanistan / Pakistan border
It’s interesting to watch this exchange between a Russia Today anchor and correspondent (who, frankly, should put her hands down while reporting) simultaneously report on and mock the rhetoric of former UK Defense Minister Lord Gilbert but given where we are… …do either one of you two have any better ideas? h/t Jawa
PJM’s Patrick Poole exactly right on Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) has been in the news quite a bit lately, as the fiscal conservative who is demanding that Republicans adhere to his no-tax pledge in their fiscal cliff negotiations. Norquist’s position in this case may sound appealing to conservatives but this is one of those rare times when […]
Canadian Prime Minister gives USA lesson on leadership
If you’re an American who thinks there is a leadership vacuum on your continent, take a look north of your border; that vacuum may be getting filled in Canada. The Prime Minister there is playing hardball with the Palestinian Authority. Via Arutz Sheva: Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper personally intervened to pressure Palestinian Authority Chairman […]
Slavery, Then and Now
Keith Davies Over the Thanks Giving Holiday weekend I took my family to see the film Lincoln. While I am somewhat familiar with the history, I am sure most Americans are probably very ignorant of those times. Hopefully, this film might shock some of the most die-hard Democrats into understanding the very sordid history of […]
Shocker: Turkey’s Prime Minister loving himself some Ottoman Empire
It’s amazing how far wearing suits and ties will take you. Doing so has aided Turkey’s Prime Minister in being labeled a moderate despite the fact that he is anything but that. In reality, he reveres the extremely repressive Ottoman Empire and is apparently willing to jail anyone who doesn’t portray Ottoman rulers in an […]
Video: French march against Sharia; liberal media ignores, citing Racism
Some may remember one of our earlier posts about a French youth movement known as Generation Identitaire. We posted a YouTube video released by the group, though it’s no longer available due to a copyright claim by Warner Brothers. Nonetheless, the group, which is demanding that France retain its culture and wants to stop the […]
Time Magazine’s Joe Klein: Susan Rice’s talking points on Benghazi were ‘accurate’
With the onset of YouTube, we’ve become somewhat desensitized to what used to be considered incredible videos. The bar is raised on a near daily basis now. However, the level of absurdity displayed by Time Magazine’s Joe Klein in the clip below from his appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe hits the mark. This excerpt from […]
How nice. One day after Cease-fire, Hamas TV airs “death to Israel” music video
It’s become rather ponderous to engage in rhetorical debates about imagining reactions if the situations were reversed so we won’t do that here. Just watch. Via PMW (h/t WS):
Pat Condell Video: The first step is admitting the enemy is irrational
You know that old saying about admitting you have a problem is half the battle? Well, western civilization collectively admitting that Israel is dealing with an irrational enemy is half the battle for western civilization in the Middle East. Pat Condell nails it again: h/t BNI
War on Women: Saudi men sent text messages when their women leave the country
In this year’s U.S. presidential election, single women under thirty were convinced that there was a war on women being waged by Republicans who had the gall to expect women should pay for their own contraceptives. Code Pink’s minions literally dressed as vaginas at the Republican National Convention to protest the suppression of women in […]
